In 1998 Dietl's autobiography One Tough Cop: The Bo Dietl Story was made into the film One Tough Cop starring Stephen Baldwin as Bo Dietl.[1] The plot in Abel Ferrara's crime drama Bad Lieutenant is mainly inspired by Dietl's 1981 investigation of the rape of a young nun, however the similarities only begin there. The protagonist was played by Harvey Keitel in the film. Dietl played a role in the beginning of the film, as one of the investigating detectives. Dietl played the narc who arrests Henry Hill in Martin Scorsese's 1990 film, Goodfellas. An interview with Dietl is included in the documentary Fabled Enemies by Jason Bermas of Loose Change fame.

Dietl was an associate producer for The Bone Collector and producer for the movie “Table One.” Dietl plays himself in Martin Scorsese’s 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street.
